Seen this Rosaceae Shrub along the Mana- Vasundhara falls trail. I could spot only one flower.
Date/Time: 11-08-2012 / 01:30PM Habitat: Wild Plant habit: Shrub Flower : white, around 4 to 5 cm in dia I think Rosa sericea Yes … is right. Four visible petals is distinctive. and not only the four petals but the thorns’ shape and numbers was unique??? i wonder Yes, this comes within what I understand to be Rosa sericea – note the fearsome, wide-based prickles. The flowers of R.sericea are not particularly showy.
Perhaps Rosa macrophylla, but fruits looks different. Rosa sericea – the leaflets are diagnostic
http://www.complete-encyclopedie.nl/Bomen+en+struiken/Rosa+Sericea/ Fruits is like rosa serisa. This does come within what I understand to be Rosa sericea – a highly variable species.
Should be Rosa sericea…nice pics.. I think yes Yes, this comes within what I understand to be Rosa sericea.
Family: Rosaceae
Date: May 2015 Place: Churdhar Sanctuary, Himachal Pradesh Habit: Shrub Altitude: 2800 metres above sea level Is this Rosa webbiana? Identified by … as Rosa sericea Wall. ex Lindl. Yes, this comes within what I understand to be Rosa sericea
Rosa sericea (Rosaceae) from Uttarakhand: June 2015_DSR_08 : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (1) very nice. is the 7 leaflet leaf seen always? Leaflets ranges from 7 to 11 in this species. Yes, this probably comes within what I understand to be Rosa sericea but on future occasions please photograph sepals, prickles and lower foliage as well.

Location: Jomsom, Mustang, Nepal
Altitude: 9000 ft.
Date: 22 April 2013
These images are of Rosa sericea – which varies a good deal. The forms found in the Upper Kali Gandaki, Mustang District of Nepal in more arid ‘Tibetan Borderland’ conditions can look substantially different to those growing in wetter, monsoonal climes. Flora of Mustang (2008) says gravelly or sandy place, especially near streams @ 2700-4000m. I came across this rose near Jomsom during my first visit to Nepal in 1990. Initially, I wondered if this was a form of Rosa webbiana.
The images at the bottom of this page, taken in another part of Nepal show the broad-based, blood-red spines of what is known as var. pteracantha. This variety is in cultivation in the UK where the reddish, spiny stems are ornamental in the winter especially on sunny days. The flowers of Rosa sericea are not particularly showy.
I have assorted images of this species which I may post at some point. Further to my recent post which applied ONLY to the last 4 of the 6 images. I think you will find that the first 2 belong not only to a different specimen but not Rosa sericea? I guess it is my oversight. First two pictures are apple flower. OK. Flora of Mustang records Malus baccata ‘Siberian Crab Apple’ from mixed forest or open grassland @ 2000-3500m with a specimen seen between Kagbeni & Muktinath (2800-3650m).
Presumably the first two images are of this?
I guess these are from plantation not wild ! Nepali Names : भोटे गुलाफ Bhote Gulaaf / दारिमपाते Daarimapaate / खरौटे Kharaute / ह्रयूली Rhyuli / जंगली गुलाफ jangali Gulaaf As to ‘apples’ in Nepal.
Flora of Mustang only lists Malus baccata but may well have omitted cultivated plants.
An Enumeration of the Flowering Plants of Nepal lists Malus baccata, Malus pumila [syn. M.domestica] (as widely cultivated but only noted from ‘West’ Nepal) and M.sikkimensis.
Flowers of Himalaya list M.baccata and M.sikkimensis with M.domestica ‘Apple’ being grown in the middle hill villages, particularly in the valleys of Kulu and Kashmir.
It is from apple farm not wild ! This illustrates the importance of indicating if the images posted are from plants being cultivated or growing wild. One cannot always tell from one or two close-ups of the flowers – no images of habit or habitat were provided.
As I always say, the more information/clues provided the better. . Fwd: Rosa sericea records fro Kashmir??? : 1 post by 1 author.
Dr R Stewart was sceptical about the records of this species for Pakistan & Kashmir. Mason was supposed to have found it in the Shaksgam Valley on the Ladakh-Chinese border and it was reported from Shopayan, Kashmir by Rao.
Its normal range is from Chamba eastward.
Rosa sericea is included within the Rosaceae revision towards Flora of Pakistan (available on efloraofPakistan). The author states that there are a number records from NE Pakistan but not supported by any herbarium specimens. They thought its presence in Pakistan was “probable”. I do not agree. I should think it probably is NOT found in Pakistan with the previous records being misidentifications without supporting herbarium voucher specimens.
Rosa sericea is not included by Dickore & Klimes in the most up-to-date check-list for Ladakh.  
Rosa sericea, Badrinath, Uttarakhand (1800609SCS3) – indiantreepix | Google Groups   Rosaceae Week- 031011 NS1 a rose for ID ,from Shimla:
This rose was photographed at Shimla, in wild. My guess is Himalayan Musk Rose / Rosa brunonii.
Location- Churdhar Wildlife Sanctuary, Shimla Date/ Time – Oct 2010. Silky Rose (Rosa sericea) It was a shrub. I think this probably is Rosa sericea – DIFFICULT when ONLY close-ups of petals shown. PLEASE on future occasions take images
of sepals, prickles and foliage as well.
Yes! It was like a flower hunting trip and we stopped at every now and then to take photographs.
Churdhar wildlife sanctuary is blessed with rich floristic diversity and a long trail of ca 14 kms can be thoroughly enjoyed.
Due to this hunting, we could not reach to the destination and returned back at the same day. But anyway, it was a wonderful experience exploring this region.
I think this does come within what I understand to be Rosa sericea but growing here in shade and high rainfall conditions the plants looks very different from the xerophytic forms found in the Mustang District of the Upper Kali Gandaki in Nepal.
